Person:Mary Stow (2)

She may be widow Stow; Grafton vital records (p. 218) indicates that she was Mrs. Mary Stow in the intentions record.

Grafton Vital Records, p. 218, indicates a Widow Mary Hall marrying Joel Brooks on Aug. 23, 1779. This one? Could be as her husband Jonathan Hall died Sep 1776. And there is a death of a Sarah, wife of Joel who died 10 Jan 1779 in her 56th year [g.s.].

Joel Brooks died in 1811, age 91 (therefore b. 1720).

Mary, wife of Joel, d. Aug 7, 1819, age 85 (therefore b. abt. 1734, which is right).
